Firefox: Have a phrase or snippet of code you use all the time in Firefox? Assign a text or keyboard shortcut to it in Firefox and never have to write it all out again.

Once you've installed MyWords, a menu option is added to your right-click context menu any time you click in a dialogue box or after highlighting text. From the menu you can add words or phrases to MyWords or tweak the general setup of MyWords.

To use the phrases stored in MyWords you can either use a simple keyboard shortcut to scroll through them (handy if you only have a few) or if you have many shortcuts stored you can turn the keyboard shortcut into an auto complete flag. In the screenshot above we've assigned "teotwawki" to "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT". If we had MyWords set to autocomplete we could hit the shortcut trigger and then type "teo" to give it a hint and it would auto complete the full phrase.

MyWords is handy if you're only using auto complete in Firefox, if you want to use it elsewhere on your PC check out homegrown Texter and previously reviewed PhraseExpress.
